Word is the Washington governor’s team is adamant at the bargaining table: no Cost of Living Increases for state workers in the 27-29 contracts. WFSE is probably going to the mat for any Democrat with a pulse who will challenge him in 28 at this point.

Good turnout from WFSE members at the Attorney General's Office! We walked out at noon today to show our commitment to the public services we provide and to tell the WA Legislature to fund our contract.

Last week, hundreds came out to rally against these cuts, but we need to escalate. Resolutions proposed by rank-and-file WFSE members calling for a one-day sickout have been ruled "out of order" by union leadership. Help us email WA union leaders to urge them to call for a one-day general strike.
